Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #6

@Seabear I am with you. While it may not be what I would do, it's what works best for them and only they know what that is. It also only reconfirms to me that social media doesn't always tell the story, especially when social media seems to have a life of its own these days and can be interpreted many different ways especially when in the spotlight like they are. Like you posted, I wish them all the best.

Lauren posted a cute video of her singing along to the Grammy's and Ben in the background, making a face like WTH are are doing....

I am choosing to think that everything is still good with them.

Has anyone thought that maybe the MF "historic" announcement might be about Ben and Lauren? Maybe a wedding date?

^There's nothing "historic" about a wedding date announcement IMO so I don't think it's that.

Random but my coworker ran into Ben this weekend skiing. He was with several friends. They didn't see Lauren.

He seems to skii an awful lot . Is this in his town?

I just looked at his IG post since he tagged the location. Depending what part of Denver they live in, where he goes skiing it's about two hours away.

He was up in the mountains, Beaver Creek I think. That's a few hours from Denver. Many Coloradans go out on the slopes every weekend (unless you the person like me who is two knee surgeries deep and skiing is on the non approved activities list. )

Yep. It was mentioned in the fan thread and Ben had an IG post about it. He went skiing with a bunch of his guy friends.

Time will tell with these two. I have no expectations either way.


(Also, no. I'm not expecting a wedding from them anytime soon. I don't think the historic announcement has anything to do with B&L. There is nothing really historic about them - whether they get married OR breakup.)

I think Lauren threw some shade at her relationship today with the pic of her parents with the caption "actual goals." No idea what is going on with them, but I'm still guessing they are struggling to get back on track and it's definitely NOT actual "goals" like so many people plaster on their social media.

^ Lauren posted that picture of her parents like a minute or two before/after she commented on Ben's pic of his parents with "I mean. #Goals"

I don't know what's going on with them, if anything (obvi.) But I found her tweet this morning a bit odd. Eating pizza in the shower..? And announcing that on a day like today? Weird IMO.

Ben participated in a Bachelor Family Valentine's Day post, and sadly, his is the most generic IMO.

IMO, that's how she talks/writes comments. I see nothing off about that. She said "I mean..." So often on the bachelor. She told Ben she could "see a life life" with him. I see the caption about ACTUAL goals being a way to emphasize her admiration of her parents in her 27year old way. IMO, there has never been any basis to comparing the Bushnell's marriage against the Higgins' and I think any speculation of that is totally left field. IMO.

Ben is not nice with words. Not romantic at all just cheesy and dry.
